In the early 1990’s we launched the “Reeco” brand of footwear taking our range of products nationwide as the UK market leader in both technical ability and innovation, introducing Lowline, Nova, Solace and Nature last designs. We have regularly introduced new exclusive materials, and continue to do so, to enhance the quality, comfort and functionality of our footwear. Our “Ladies Hidden Depths” and "Men's Hidden Depths" range is a unique concept in orthopaedic footwear. High street styling that combines both function and flair using a moulded polyurethane sole unit, which offers much increased durability over EVA. Our Solace range of ladies’ footwear is especially designed as a single solution for the Rheumatoid/painful foot combining fashion with function. One of our more recent additions to the range is made to measure / bespoke footwear designed for the swollen and painful foot. This range incorporates a soft heat mouldable a vamp, deep foam collar to accommodate ankle swelling, leather quarters, absorber anti-bacterial lining, low stiffener and captive strap and finished with a through wedge sole for support and stability. We work with the 'Shoemaster' software system, which allows us to use Cad Cam systems to design our uppers, alter and cut patterns and carve lasts to meet individual patient requirements. We can use standard foot drafts and measurements, or scans of clients’ feet, utilising digital camera or laser scan technology. Combining this with our highly skilled and dedicated shoemakers makes our footwear the premier product you would expect.
